The Decisive Pumpkin is a Keychain for Sora's Keyblade which appears in Kingdom Hearts II.

Design

Similar to the theme in The Nightmare Before Christmas, Decisive Pumpkin sports a Christmas motif with a tint of Halloween. The main hand guard is designed with Dr. Finklestein's skeleton reindeer, with the emblem of Jack wearing a Christmas Hat at the central part. The blade's body resembles the long snake seen in the film The Nightmare Before Christmas swallowing presents, but could also be a version of Halloween Town's dragon-like fountain with a candy cane pattern. The chains sport a Jack-o-Lantern motif, symbolizing Jack's image as the Pumpkin King, and the token is Zero. The symbols that appear when the Decisive Pumpkin makes contact with an enemy are Jack-o'-Lanterns, furthering the Halloween motif. It makes jingling sounds when it hits an enemy, completing the Christmas theme.

Like other Keyblades, the Decisive Pumpkin has a monochrome scheme while in Timeless River, a darker, ashen scheme while in Halloween Town, and a blue neon scheme while in Space Paranoids.

Gameplay

The Decisive Pumpkin is among the best Keyblades in Kingdom Hearts II. It has amazing Strength, bad Magic, and decent reach. While it's Strength stat is on-par with Keyblades such as Ultima Weapon and Oblivion, its combo boost amplifies the Keyblades finisher damage; effectively making Guard Break and Explosion stronger. This makes the Decisive Pumpkin the strongest grounded Keyblade. It is not recommended to use Magic with this Keyblade; its Magic stat is very poor unless the Battle Level scales Sora's magic damage. Limit Form is a excellent choice for Decisive Pumpkin, as it makes Zantetsuken and Ripple Drive extremely deadly against enemies.
